I try stick to serious stuff in this blog. Things that I think can be helpful to folks who are doing software development, especially if they are using the NetBeans IDE or building on top of the NetBeans Platform.

But this week is JavaOne. So I will deviate a bit from the norm and at times things might get a bit irreverent. Today we had NetBeans Day San Francisco, 2006 (more on that in a later blog entry). And I got to meet the famous MaryMary. Mary Smaragdis is not a technology celebrity. But she is a blogosphere celebrity, so I experienced a blogo celeb sighting. As Mary would say, "We are now close personal friends who are on a first-name basis." :-)

I took a picture of Mary taking a picture of the crowd at NetBeans Day. In other words, a meta picture of the crowd.
